Priceless Stevie quotes. What are your favorites?

[greendaze5]

These are a hoot:

1) Her 1987 quote about refusing to dress up as a ‘hot dog’ or a ‘box of Kleenex’ for Halloween.

2) “You f-cked with my people! I’m gonna get really f-ckin’ angry!!!

(Stevie yelling at the security guards for roughing up the crowd at a 1989 show).

3) “If I didn’t know she was a mythological character, I would think maybe she lived down the street.”

(Stevie talking about Rhiannon, ‘Rolling Stone Magazine’, Feb. 7, 1980).

[SapphireSister]

I love her response to Lindsay Lohan potentially playing her in a bio-pic:
“Over my dead body...she needs to stop doing drugs and get a grip. Then maybe we’ll talk." Also about Lindsay: “She's been saying that for years. I have nothing against her but I'm still living and working. You know I'm not dead yet.”
You tell her girlfriend! I'd play you better anyway :nod:.

My very favorite is when she said "When pigs fly!" but I can't for the life of me find what this was in response to. I must have it on audio b/c I can hear her saying it in my head. Anybody know?

I have a special fondness for # 2 because this happened in my home town, and I was there in the front of the stage rush and was one of the people she was trying to protect. Before she said that, multiple security guards at the same time had pushed the whole line of people in the front and we all fell backwards, knocking over the people behind us.

[AgeOldDesire]

Interviewer: "How do you feel about being a living legend?"

Stevie: "Well, it's better than being a dead legend."

Snap.

I was there too, in the 9th row, but everybody was so much taller than me that I couldn't see what was happening. But I sure did hear Stevie when she swore at security.

[petep9000]

From when she was interviewed on CBS by Rita Braverwhatsername

"The hair went from permed to growing out permed to really bad growing out permed to almost straight to good straight to long straight to beautiful straight to a lot-of-work straight back to a perm."

[Sanne2]

"Lindsey, don't you think Rhiannon is a beautiful name?......................Yes Stevie, I do think Rhiannon is a beautiful name".

Honorable mention - Lindsey re: Stevie:

Honorable mention - Lindsey re: Stevie:

No way !! He said that?

Yup, that's part of his big love speech these days! Didn't you hear him on the Unleashed tour?

[Sleepless-Child]

Yup, that's part of his big love speech these days! Didn't you hear him on the Unleashed tour?


Oops, I was probably yelling "Lindsey I LOVE YOU", so no, I didn't hear that :D
Well, if it's in that situation, I'm relieved !

[nailatixela]

Oops, I was probably yelling "Lindsey I LOVE YOU", so no, I didn't hear that :D
Well, if it's in that situation, I'm relieved !

LOL, only joking. Why are you relieved? That would be horrible if he said that every night on stage! But most people might not notice as he goes on and on and on blah blah blah. Actually I don't even think he talked before BL on the Unleashed tour. He talked a lot before that song on the GOS tour. Hmm.

Anyway, I've heard the quote before. I forget where/when. Sometime during the rumours break up?

[SapphireSister]

No way !! He said that?
Yep in 87' then he left. Rumor has it he slapped her too.

[Sleepless-Child]

:laugh: Ok, good one. Thank you, now I'm making a fool of myself. I thought it was weird, actually. Well, relieved because...i don't know, it might have been in a poetic way :lol:. But this quote is horrible and hilarious at the same time, I love it. would have been a hit one the Unleashed Tour :D

[Sleepless-Child]

Yep in 87' then he left. Rumor has it he slapped her too.

Aouch. Kind of rude. Funny thing, I was just watching that 87 interview of Stevie and Lindsey, thinking that it's the most awkward situation I saw. When you know what was coming next...

[Angel69]

I have always loved

"chiffon....chiffon and more chiffon"

[MacMan]

I like the line about Botox...

Botox is becoming the new face of beauty and it’s unfortunate because it makes everybody look like Satan’s children. Everybody has pointed eyebrows. Everybody looks related. All the Desperate Housewives look like sisters.

[Nikolaj]

Oh, there was some wild one 'See this tambourine, it won't feel nice wrapped around your neck' and 'see these boots' but I don't remember where she said she'd assault with her boots. Those were pretty out there, but I think she meant them with love. The question was about whether she ever felt vulnerable - for her safety- at concerts. Anyone have the exact quotes? Maybe she should've said "See those bodyguards stage right? They have guns!"

[holidayroad]

I don't know the exact quote. It was when she was saying 'No one ever told us cocaine was bad for us'. (from VH-1 Behind the Music)

[APerfectLie]

I have always loved

"chiffon....chiffon and more chiffon"

Right before she said that, she said something about having a garage sale and I still believe she says "Believe me, when I stop singing I'm gonna have a garage **** sale like you wouldn't believe... we're talking chiffon... chiffon.. and more chiffon" .

[ButterCookie]

Maybe she should've said "See those bodyguards stage right? They have guns!"

That's what she was whispering to Taylor Swift when she had the pained expression.

[SmileAtYou]

There is a relatively newer live recording of Gypsy, and after the performance, at the very end, Stevie says

"You know you can always be that Gypsy, you just have to go back to the floor!"

and it is just so cute!

[RockAlot]

Not sure if this ones been said but: from Red Rocks "She Love's You"! She told me!

[SapphireSister]

I like the line about Botox...

Botox is becoming the new face of beauty and it’s unfortunate because it makes everybody look like Satan’s children. Everybody has pointed eyebrows. Everybody looks related. All the Desperate Housewives look like sisters.
Ha that's great! I wouldn't be surprised if she wrote a song about it called "Everybody Has Pointed Eyebrows".

[Zombie]

"You can only rock out so much. Then you have to go rest."

" 'Take me home.' What the heck does that mean?"

"I need a little sympathy. I NEED a little sympathy. I need MORE sympathy ... I need a LOT of sympathy."

"Atlanta's not burning, but the relationship is somehow burning down, and I'm back on the treadmill, trying to lose a little weight!"

Had to abridge the "sympathy" one because there's random in the middle.

[wheart]

Maybe she should've said "See those bodyguards stage right? They have guns!"

"first of all, I think they're know I'm a whole lot tougher than I look..and the platform boots I'm wearing would not be comfortable in their face. And the tambourine I'm usually carrying would not be comfortable around their neck". I'm typing from memory so it may not be exactly what she said but it's pretty darn close. I love this interview! She's so funny and very "alert" for being right in the middle of the klonopin years.

[goldustsongbird]

Jim: Do you feel comfortable? Do you feel excited? Are ya moist?
Stevie: *pause* Well, gee, Jim! I'm speechless! I'm stunned. I'm silent!
Jim: Uh, I'm in trouble.
Stevie: You're in reaaaally big, serious trouble.

[gypsy4life]

"Lindsey, don't you think Rhiannon is a beautiful name?......................Yes Stevie, I do think Rhiannon is a beautiful name".


Thank you for this!! I hope you're not joking, because, other people seem to think I'm crazy for liking this...lol!!

I also LOVE : "I'm not a witch-get a life!"
and...
on one of her demos she says "I'm 33 yrs. old, I have to grow up sometime, but not now!"

I recently had a friend burn that for me but I've not seen that in a store, is that available?"

Lindsey: "No, it's not. We haven't been able to sort of get the timing, I guess, would you say?"

Stevie: "No. But we could make you a cassette!" [Lindsey laughs] "I never went to the burning of cd's, I don't have cd's, I just have cassettes."

Stevie-" It's my favorite on the whole thing"
Larry-" It's a very powerful moment "
Stevie- " Yeah, I think it's trippy, and I said, I want people to trip out on this when they see it ".
Larry- " It's very powerful "

"I had my hair streaked at the end of the my tenth-grade year and got in a lot of trouble for it. They didn't just streak it blond...they streaked it silver. My hair was totally ivory. I was grounded for six weeks. But when my hair changed, everything changed. I got to wear grayish plum eye shadow. There was no way I was going back."

"I'm not a pushy person..I wish there was I way I wouldn't ever have to tell people that I'm bummed because I can't even show them everything I write because I write...for you. I write for everyone that listens to me; I don't write for me. I write because somebody is telling me to say some of these things, and when I can't get them out to people...it breaks my heart because they sit in a file cabinet. That's why I did Bella Donna..."

I wish she still had this point of view.

[michelej1]

I liked it during one of those rehearsals when she said that she couldn't hear any background vocals on Sara, because there aren't any.

And it was also funny on DR when she couldn't hear bass and she said it sounded like John fell off of the stage.

“Well, if the earthquake happens, I've got my steel-toed shoes and some rope, and we'll get down a mountain.”

“If you see somebody running down the street naked every single day, you stop looking up.”

"He and I were about as compatible as a rat and a boa constrictor.”

"In comparison to the eight years I spent on Klonopin, the cocaine and brandy wins hands down."

[goldustsongbird]

(On what upsets her)
Otherwise, just wrong things said at the wrong time. Like, "Oh, you gained a little weight around the chin." You know, right before a photo session. Some people have incredible tact and an intuitive feel for your feelings. Others don't. Some people can wake me up in the morning-they know how. Others, if I had a BB gun, they'd be on the wall.

Stevie: "I do when I wake up!"

Another is from the WB Birthday video outtake:

Stevie: "I don't know what you're singing!"

[equeen102289]

I wish she still had this point of view.

Me too. This is why I love the Jim Ladd interview from '79 so much. My favorite part is when she talks about meeting the fan in Ann Arbor.

Some of you have already mentioned some of my favorites but I didn't see this one yet:

"When I say, 'Wild in the darkest places of your mind/That's where I needed you', I mean the things that you think about in the wildest places of your mind, that you don't ever tell anybody about. Uh, only the children lie hopelessly enchanted. That's how we are. Hopelessly enchanted. Wild in the darkest places of your mind/Don't blame it on me/Blame it on my wild heart. Yeah, that's those places that many people don't even have. But you see, my audience has it."

- Jim Ladd Innerview, 1983

I like this one too:

"I think that people are gonna love 'Wild Heart'...it's the one song that I go back to time and time again and listen to. There's something about the vocal that just gives me shivers, because it's just so real. People will understand that probably more than a lot of other things, because it definitely takes you through your nervous breakdown, and through your recovery and it takes you through your survival.

And everybody's heart is wild, so it's not like I've got any kind of hold on it, 'cause this entire album was written for everybody, and their wild heart. This was very much meant to be shared and given to people, to have them just love the idea that they have wild hearts, 'cause I love that."

- The Wild Heart Press Kit, 1983

[Dodfather]

my ALL time favorite is " doing that album was like being a hostage in Iran and, to an extent Lindsey was the Ayotollah":laugh::laugh:

What album is she talking about here?! Tusk or Say You Will? It must be one of those...

[CADreaming]

What album is she talking about here?! Tusk or Say You Will? It must be one of those...

Tusk, I would guess. It's from People magazine, 1982.

[Ghost_Tracker]

From an old radio interview on Nicksfix - an audio file - I think this is still there but I'm not sure - I don't currently have the software to listen to it so I don't know if it's still "up and running" or not - - I thought the way she phrased things was very interesting -

(I'm paraphrasing, by the way)

Interviewer: "There's a DARKNESS to your songwriting."
Stevie: "There IS, yeah."
Interviewer: "It's almost a SADNESS."
Stevie: "Yeah."
Interv.: "Does the SONGWRITING help the sadness, or does the SADNESS help the SONGWRITING?"
Stevie: "I think the SONGWRITING helps the SADNESS until the next sadness comes ALONG. But
I don't think I'm really all that sad of a person; I mean, *I* don't think . . . . . I am."

"I think if you are really into words and poetry and situations of life, there is always a little kiss of sadness on everything you do... It's just the kind of person who I am. I always look carefully beneath the outward appearance of things. I want to know what's really going on in somebody's heart."
